Re: Rainy Day Poll
1. I hope so.. I need to get on it
2. My bedroom and closet.. it's a wreck. The babies room also needs better organized
3. Donate
4. Good weather helps get me motivated.. Rainy weather, not so much.
5. Might finally get some pictures printed out and put in frames on the wall.. maybe.. our lease is up in 4 months so I'm not so sure I want to bother at this point in case we move.
Are you spring-cleaning this year?
Ugh, we are in desperate need of a major spring clean up. We did a quick purge of large items for our city clean up last weekend, hopefully this weekend we can do a big purge of old clothes and junk. Thanks for reminding me. ;-/
What are your major projects that you plan on tackling (or already tackled)?
Besides cleaning out my closet/dresser, we also need to start packing for the big move that will hopefully take place at the end of the month.
What do you do with all the stuff that you realize that you don't need?
I try to give away as much as possible.
How do you get & keep motivated?
I have very little motivation. Usually DH gets me moving when we need to do a major clean up.
Are you adding any fun d?cor to your home post cleaning?
Since we are moving, we are trying to buy a bunch of new furniture/d?cor, so we don?t look like college students. It is hard to buy stuff without being in the space. We also have a very tight budget, so we are just trying to get the essentials, a couch, bed frame, and dining room table. Hopefully everything else will come together over time.

1. No. My house doesnt really require it, as (unfortunately?) I am pretty obsessy about how I clean. I think it was just the way I was raised, so I never light clean - Ive only ever heavy cleaned...
2. Well, right now ? there are two major projects: The baby?s nursery, and my closets. In all of the closets in my house (and the basement..oy) there are shoe organizational systems. I have too many shoes. Around 350? So, Im consolidating my shoes. *cries*
3. What do you do with all the stuff that you realize that you don't need? Well, with the shoes ? I have a best friend that has the same size foot. So anything that I?ve never worn (which is a lot) goes to her house. She gets first dibs. If she doesn?t want them, then they are going to Ebay. Like a pair of brand new Coach rainboots I never worn, and a pair of brand new Michael Kors boots I never wore..Oy. Now, I have to find the energy to take pictures and make listings. LMAO
4. Right now, it?s a little difficult with full time school and being this pregnant. I don?t have the most energy. I just take pride in a clean home, and what honestly motivates me is the ?What if someone comes over for a random visit?? ? the house is always ready for company. I?d die if it weren?t.
5. Only to the baby?s nursery. We?ve installed her chandelier, the husband handles the walls ? painting and stenciling. Furniture gets here in 2 weeks, and then I?ll be handling the artwork on the walls and window treatments. Other than that, we tend to freshen up the d?cor often in the rest of the apartment, so I don?t need anything new right now.
